The SCH integrates accredited data transmission (Mini-CATAPAN® encryption) and data at rest (Eclypt® drive in Laptop) products for an accredited highly secure mobile solution. It features three red-side LAN ports enabling it to act as a secure communications “hub” and provides encrypted WAN (BGAN, ADSL, etc.) or 3G black-side connectivity.

“By combining a compact and lightweight rugged design with the capability to provide WAN access to multiple users – our new Secure Communication Hub is ideal for ad-hoc mobile or remote military and government environments,” added Richards.

For unplugged tactical use, the SCH can operate on battery power, ensuring continuous operation when AC power is not available. The user interface provides connectivity selection, battery status, crypto key-fill and management features with the Mini-CATAPAN identifier remaining visible. It meets MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F requirements. A vehicle mounted version for government, military, and first responders is also available. Solutions that will provide seamless hotel and public Wi-Fi connectivity are also in development.
